"The tuntian system proposed by the prime minister in the early years is an important policy in the world, and it can be continued to be implemented, and the displaced people can cultivate the land and land of the powerful and suppress the land annexation of the powerful and powerful, weaken the power of the powerful and powerful, and achieve the goal of destroying the powerful and powerful. I believe that the world lies in the people, and the people receive the favor of the prime minister and support the prime minister, and the strong cannot stir the hearts of the people, so there is no need to worry, because the prime minister has heavy troops under his command, and they dare not make a mistake. Every household has 100 acres of fertile land, and the tax revenue to the state is huge. I often go to the south of the Zhongtiao Mountain, the hundred miles of salt pond, vast, like a pearl, I see the family Haoqiang often a spoon of salt from the salt pond, they will build a wall of the salt pond, the country's assets, for their own interests, for personal gain, is really unwilling, the prime minister can be Hedong salt pond as an official property, set up a messenger to supervise the sale, extract the salt tax, the world tens of millions, this is enough to support the prime minister's conquest. ”

Wei Qi pondered for a moment and replied to Liu Fan.

"Chi Yan is sold by the official, Boru is a famous family in Hedong, doesn't this mean to offend the family Hao?"

Liu Fan was happy and believed that as long as the salt pond in Hedong was well utilized, it would definitely create huge tax revenues.

It is impossible for people not to eat salt, and once people do not eat salt, they will have no strength, and their prime of life is like old and weak.

The salt of the past dynasties mainly includes sea salt, pool salt (salt in saltwater lakes), rock salt (mineral rock), and well salt (coarse salt).

Among them, the pool salt is the best, the pool salt is granular, and people also call it "grain salt". The salt particles of the pool are large, the color is white, the texture is pure, and it is the joy of the people of the world.

The sea salt of this era cannot be compared with the pool salt at all, and the Hedong salt pond is the pool salt, which is called "unraveling the pool".

This represents the treasury and the armory, which lost control of the solution pool as the imperial court weakened.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the doctors of the Jin Kingdom settled here not only because of the fertile soil of the Yellow River in the east of the river, but also because of the proximity to salt.

King Mu of Zhou, Duke Mu of Qin and the emperors of the Han Dynasty "view the salt", and even the "salt of Great Xia", which was praised by the Qin people, all refer to the salt of the Jiechi.

On the occasion of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Ji "served the salt car and went up to Taihang", and fortunately met Bole, that is, in this place. Maxima's relationship with the solution pool is very intriguing.

Near Jiechi, it was once the capital of Yu Shun and Xia Yu, reflecting that this salt pond was the center of clan life in the late primitive society. Yu Shun once used a self-made five-stringed piano to play and sing "South Wind Poetry", singing that the south wind brought wealth to the Jiechi: the south wind is three Xunxi, which can relieve the warmth of our people! When the south wind blows, you can fufu the wealth of our people!

Jiechi is not only the largest salt-producing area today. Even in the densely populated later generations, it was ranked among the three largest salt lakes in the world, along with the Kuchuk Salt Lake and the Great Salt Lake of Utah.

The past dynasties called the solution pool "the world's nine points of salt", which means that the salt of the solution pool occupies nine points in the world, not only for the Qin and Jin Dynasties, Yuzhou, Sili, but also for some people in Shandong and Jiangnan to rely on the solution of the pool supply.

Whoever can control the salt pond means that he controls the lifeblood of the world.

The salt of the solution pond is the leader in the salt producing areas of the world, and there is no substance that can compare with the supply of the Chinese people in the Yellow River Basin. Generations of literati have left too many relics here.

Liu Fan dreamed of returning to the millennium, and not everything was clear.

The historical Wei Qi dedicated the proposal of the sale of the Yanchi official to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao used this resolution to send people to manage the solution.

This was the most important policy at that time, proving that Wei Qi was not only beautiful in writing and calligraphy, but also had a unique political vision.

The salt tax of Jiechi accounted for one-fifth of the tax revenue of Wei at that time, and stabilized the dilapidated Guanzhong for the third generation of Cao Cao. The increased financial resources supported the unified campaign of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

If Zhuge Liang is fighting with silk, then Cao Cao is fighting with salt.

"The country and the world, alas! No country and no home. If you only care about the small family and ignore everyone, then I am not Wei Qing's descendant. The salt of the solution pond is already state-owned, and the Haoqiang family is just mining, and they don't even want to pay taxes, which suffers the people of the world. ”

Wei Qi sighed.

"Today's long talk with Jun has taught me a lot, whether it is reforming the law or selling salt pond officials, it has opened my eyes and given me a new direction in my heart. When I pacify Guanzhong, the person I want to make Guanzhong stable must be you! When I pacify Guanlong, I will revise the law, advocate the study of Shen Han, and let the officials know the severity of the law. ”

Liu Fan coveted Wei Qi and invited Wei Qi.

His words affirmed Wei Qi as the person who governed Guanzhong. It also affirmed the revision of the laws of the Han Dynasty and the establishment of those who disseminated the laws.

After Wei Qi heard Liu Fan's sincere words, he hurriedly got up, bowed to Liu Fan, and said, "Wei Qi is willing to help the prime minister establish Guangwu with his modest efforts!"

"Did Boru tell me anything else?"

Liu Fan asked abruptly.

"The prime minister has the power to make decisions and is wise and powerful, but he must also listen to different opinions, pay attention to the people, cherish the people's strength, take care of the treasury, and live within his means."

Wei Qi suggested to Liu Fan.

"Think about Dong Zhuo, I know it well." Liu Fan accepted it humbly, and then said to Wei Qi: "If one day I establish the Guangwu Gong, I want Bo Ru to be on the same list as Deng Yu."

Wei Qi was impressed, he was in his thirties, and he finally met his Bole.

On the same day, Liu Fan stayed in the Wei Mansion to discuss the dignitaries in detail. Wei Qi showed his ambitions.

The next day, when Liu Fan left, Wei Qi sent him off.

Liu Fan came to Xie County and witnessed the Xie Chi, which is known as "the world's nine points of salt".

Standing on Zhongtiao Mountain, watching the copper mine and the salt lake, it is extremely strong, and it is really like a pearl embedded in the Yellow River.

Immediately, Liu Fan drafted an edict and once again promoted the salt and iron official camp. He also accused the local wealthy families and wealthy merchants of violating the laws of the Han Dynasty.

Rich businessmen were required to make up the salt tax for these years, and they were asked to enforce it in Hedong Taishou Wangyi, and all violators were arrested.

Liu Fan issued another military order to dispatch Fenglingdu Gao Shun's cavalry of 5,000 to be stationed in Xie County. Expelled all those who mined the pond without permission.

Before the imperial court sent an envoy to come, those who opened the salt pond, or those who resisted, were killed.

Liu Fan deprived the local family and Haoqiang of their vested interests, causing them strong dissatisfaction and opposition.

If it is said that in the Western Han Dynasty, the salt and iron official camp was to compete with the people for profit. It violated the creed of the ancient sages of "virtue and cheapness, righteousness and light wealth", and ruined the simple social customs of ancient times.

But after hundreds of years of precipitation, this problem has rarely existed.

The common people no longer want to do the salt and iron business, and the powerful families use the power in their hands to often get their hands on these things.

Although Liu Fan also advocated the business ideas of Fan Li and Bai Gui, salt is not only an economic product, but also related to politics and strategy.

Until he crossed the Yellow River and returned to Xin'an County, Liu Fan was still sighing: "Today, I learned that I, a fellow villager, also have the talents of the three princes."
